Steinberg elicenser control center cant drag and drop license#
I can't remove the soft license from the 1st is soft right?" "oh, this must be like the new ilok used by UVI, Soundtoys and many other companies or like Waves or Native Instruments system where you can have your license on up to 3 computers or at least transfer it to the new machine. Here is my thinking process while discovering what would happen: I've installed them on my iMac by using the soft method(not the DAMN dongle). So I bought the V Collection and Spark 2. Lots of companies use both ways to authenticate licenses for software. It will then ask you to confirm, telling you that you need an internet connection.īear in mind that e-licenser has nothing to do with Arturia, it's a Steinberg licensing product similar to ilok.

Ensure you have the newest e-licenser software installed, run maintenance tasks before you start, then drag your licence from the right hand box to the dongle or soft licenser, in the left hand box. Transferring can be done by literally dragging the licence between the two dongles, or if you want to drag from a soft to a dongle license. A dongle isn't a requirement to use the software, they can be used as a soft license, for example installed on that specific machine.ĭongles are handy if your machine is stolen and very handy as it makes it easy to re-installed your system without having to ask for new authentication codes. It does however require an internet connection and the latest version of e-licenser. Transferral of License is a fairy simple procedure. No matter how good these synths may be, if the license system is an obstruction to using them freely, I don't want to own them. I will get as much as I can from MiniLab, while I wait to see if Arturia improves its license system. Unfortunately, the dongle system in its current form turns me off from wanting to own the V-Collection at all. I am definitely someone who will need to be able to work on two computers (separately, at different times) without having to carry a dongle back and forth *every single time* between them. If Arturia supported an easier way to transfer the soft e-License - one which guaranteed that I would not wind up stuck in the way other users are describing after having their computer stolen, I would not be so hesitant. Given the difficulties that many users are reporting here, I am sorry to say that I am seriously considering NOT purchasing the V Collection at all. Please correct me if any of the above observations are incorrect. Instead, you are required to use the dongle on ANY computer you wish to use. If you DO use a dongle, your soft eLisense will no longer work. The Jupiter synth (and at least one other synth in the V Collection) can ONLY be used with a dongle (!) If your computer is stolen or dies, your only method to continue to use Arturia software synths is with a hardware dongle. Soft eLicenses, once downloaded, cannot be transferred - period. From reading this forum, I have learned the following:
I recently purchased Arturia's MiniLab as an affordable way to test out Arturia's license system.
